GamingUnion.net writes: "Ever since Sega shifted towards the more "modern" Sonic approach with the release of Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, the original fans of the series have been clamoring for a return to the original approach they grew up to know and love. Last year's Sonic Colors was a great step in that direction by merging the 3D aspects with the innate sense of speed found in the original Genesis titles. So when Sega announced Sonic Generations back in April and everyone saw both the original and modern Sonics together in one game, many were left wondering how the merger would fare. From what we saw at E3, Generations is shaping up to be an entry in the series that shouldn't be missed."
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.

While Sega is looking forward, the company is also looking back. It’s giving us Sonic Origins, a retooled collection of Genesis classics. However, this package fails to provoke a burning question: what’s the best Sonic handheld game?"
The demo seemed pretty solid.
